Linarite, Blanchard Mine, Bingham, Hansonburg District, Socorro County, New Mexico, USA
An aesthetic profusion of textbook, dark royal blue Linarite crystals forming a cubic pseudomorph, most likely after galena and/or anglesite. A co-occurrence with galena, micro-crystalline anglesite and malachite is inferred. Accompanied by a type-written label thought to be circa 1970s. Sourced from a forty-year old collection.
